Cuban Crafters MEDINA 1959 - MIAMI

Alberto Noguera of Cuban Crafters has sent Cigar Weekly some information about a new line and blend of cigar offering. The new cigar line is the Medina 1959 Miami Edition. This cigar is blended by Manuel Medina with the intent for it to be as close as possible to the cigars that were made in Cuba in 1959, before Castro took over.
 

The wrapper is aged for 5 years and binder and filler for 6-years. The blend is first-generation Cuban seed tobacco grown in Nicaragua (in a special section of our farms).

The cigar is made under Manuel Medina's supervision  in our Miami Factory and the Churchill's are even made by him. In Cuba, Mr. Medina was the Head Cigar Maker first at the H. Upmann factory and then for  Davidoff, before he emigrated for Miami. He is considered to be one of the best rollers in the world.

 The Medina 1959 Miami Edition is available in the following models and sizes:

Torpedo - 6 x 54

Churchill - 7 x 50

Corona Gorda - 6 "" x 64

Robusto - 5 x 50

Lancero - 7 ½ x 38

Cuban Crafters Medina 1959 Miami Edition is ONLY made in our Miami, Florida factory. All the cigar rollers in the factory are Cuban-born cigar makers who came over, and some of them came very recently. There are even a few that worked for Medina at the H. Upmann factory in Cuba.
